I believe, without myself having the ability to do the science to know for sure, that weather would be a factor in all space elevator operations including construction. Nonetheless GO! UP!

evaluate this: The elevator vehicle traveling up that carbon fiber would be traveling during the air at over 1100 Miles in keeping with Hour (velocity of Earth's rotation). What do you think of will take place whilst it extremely is struck via a Jet Airliner traveling some 500 miles in keeping with hour with 350 people on board. The collision will possibly shear off one wing from the Jet liner thoroughly, and sever the C-60 filament. hundreds of hundreds of feet of filament will spiral down into the middle of cities and farm flora in all places. good ridance some will say. We in no way enjoyed listening to that factor hum interior the night wind anyhow... merely think of a few fool working an extension twine all the way as much as some stupid satellite tv for pc way up there in area. What a loopy thank you to run a inn.
